If I'm not wrong the members has got different range cards so u might not be able to ask them to top up ur card? I might be wrong though

Haha I topped up $60 thinking it would last a long time. But as I got better I began to hit more. Last time 100 balls alr ai see ai see. Now regularly hit 170+ balls to work on the long irons + FW, so very fast gone...

it's not abt hitting so many balls...it's efficiency of your swing. Every ball u hit it's one stroke, you wanna hit 170 strokes on the course?

I understand where u are coming from bro. Just picked up the game very late last year and I've been working at it myself (cant afford lessons) with some help from friends. Have to hit more to understand where I'm going wrong and consciously make changes until my muscles/brain get used to it so naturally will hit more. I've seen progress and now when I hit well, I will hit a few more shots with the club to make sure I rmb how it feels and that the good shot was not a fluke. Probably gonna make changes to my range routine soon to simulate course play.

Always believe in Practive make perfect! It does matter how many balls you practice on driving range, take it as exercise and keep fit!

Very true.....take on JGCC if you think you are fit enough.

@ Zhikang, nothing wrong with hitting so much balls, I know Vijay Singh hit 1000 balls in the range before he go PGA. But I believe, whenever in range, you should at least try various clubs like short, mid and long irons, hybrid, fw and driver to get a rough idea of what's your distance and also how well you can handle it. I seen people go to range hit driver non stop but not practicing on other clubs. IMHO, that's a waste of balls.

Vijay Singh has another way to get "fit" at one time ...

Maybe the guy whom you saw in the range was merely running in his new driver ...

I would advise against overdoing at the range. I normally limit myself to hitting not more than 100 balls at a stretch. For beginners, all the more the need to guard against excesses cause they tend to hit the mat more often resulting in painful golf or tennis elbows! You cannot enjoy your golf if you develop these pains.

I think the key thing is to have a purpose and a plan. No point hitting balls for the sake of hitting balls, unless that is the whole purpose. Personally, I advocate focusing on one-two area of the game at every practice session. Just like those intermediate/advance lessons. They always focus on one aspect of the game (the woods, long irons, short irons, chipping/pitching and putting) for that 1hour lesson. Of course, warmup is always with the wedge.
